Did you even watch the playoffs last year? Nylander was far and away the best player on the Leafs last year.
Tell me right now, do you genuinely believe Marner has played well these playoffs? Do you genuinely believe he has played like the 11M player he is?
Can't question Matthews effort, he singlehandedly won the Leafs game 2. You can absolutely question Tavares but unlike Marner Tavares has negative trade value
It's funny seeing Leaf fans ignore the fact that there are 2 teams playing and the other coach is smarter and better, obviously the B's have a game plan to stop Marner, unlike Nylander who used to shut himself down.
B's locker room coach's success to win game board.
1. reduce Matthews high scoring chances.
2. do not take penalties.
3. double team Marner.
4. be physical.
5. get traffic and shots on net.
huh, notice no mention of Nylander's name, maybe that's why he gets points, as he is further down the "to do list".
